All in Vain

I wish

I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vain

I wish

I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vain

I wish

I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vain

Different colours, different faces

Different schools in different places

Scour the morning papers, all in vain

Evening after, who remembers?

Say your prayers for the great pretenders

I see nothing but flowers, all in vain

I wish

I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vain

I wish

I wish

But it's all in vain

But it's all in vain

All the gravestone elegies

I-never-met-you memories

And every TV picture, all in vain

All your questions, deep as skin

Seperate worlds to put them in

Another might-have-been, all in vain

I wish (colour blind as tse-tse flies)

I wish (sucking all our difference dry)

I wish (and as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

I wish (and as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

All in vain

I wish (and as we sleep they multiply)

I wish

All in vain

I wish (and as we sleep they multiply)

Multiply
